Six Repeat on FCS All-America First Team
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - And still the best ...
Six players repeated as first-team selections on The Sports Network FCS All- America Team on Monday, including Wofford fullback Eric Breitenstein for the third straight year.
The other players returning to the first team for the second consecutive year were Elon wide receiver Aaron Mellette, Georgia Southern nose tackle Brent Russell, New Hampshire linebacker Matt Evans, Sam Houston State safety Darnell Taylor and North Dakota State cornerback Marcus Williams.
Breitenstein did some horseback riding over his Thanksgiving break, but he's been sitting tall in the saddle each of the past three seasons. He completed his Wofford career in the FCS playoffs this past Saturday with the most rushing yards (5,730) and touchdowns (65) among active FCS players, including 2,035 yards - a school single-season record - and 19 touchdowns on 230 carries in Wofford's triple option this year.
Breitenstein, a 5-foot-11, 230-pound junior, was named the Southern Conference's offensive player of the year. Wofford finished with a share of the conference title and a 9-4 record.
